                 Key: PROTON-2663
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2663
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: cpp-binding
    Affects Versions: proton-c-0.37.0
         Environment: Linux 64bit
Ubuntu 22.04: libqpid-proton-cpp12 0.22.0-5 (used for testing, not intended for production)
Redhat, Oracle: qpid-proton-cpp-0.37.0-1.el8.x86_64

            Reporter: Marko Hrastovec
             Fix For: proton-c-0.37.0


Class ssl_client_options does not have a constructor for a custom client certificate, and default certificate trust database.

Out application has to present a custom certificate to the server, but the server uses a certificate signed by a certificate authority (CA) that is present in the systems default certificate trust database.

Curently, our only option to connect is to supply a dummy certificate trust database, and use proton::ssl::ANONYMOUS_PEER which disables server check. In that way, we skip an important check for a secure connection. That is unacceptable for a production version of our application. Until we come to a production version we must resolve that issue. That is why I marked it as a blocker.

I have a patch, but I am not sure how to contribute it. I guess reporting is a first step?
